The Revolving Bookcase is a piece of archetypal furniture in a new interpretation, inspired by the architecture of earlier revolving bookcases. The Revolving Bookcase was first produced in a small edition in conjunction with an exhibition at Rönnells Antikvariat in Stockholm. The exhibition explored the importance of physical books in our digital age and the object itself speaks as much about how important it is to maintain craft expertise in an era of mass manufacturing. The Revolving Bookcase is currently produced for Svenskt Tenn in black lacquered ash by Eriksson & Söner Cabinet Makers in Vrena, outside Nyköping.
